Cottage Cheese-Sago Corn Cobs

A few days back I was watching a cookery show in which they were showing recipes made during fasting. I got really inspired by one of the recipes in which they made potato corn cobs. This recipe kept lingering in my mind and I was too eager to try that for two reasons, firstly, I found the idea very innovative and secondly quite simple to try.

Now, to duplicate the recipe as it is, it’s never possible for me, so I did try the recipe using my ingredients and flavors but for those who want to try it during fasting just go ahead and try it with only potatoes.

These corn cobs look so elegant that they can make a good party starter and are so attractive that kids will love this and will ask for more, as my younger one did.

I was recently watching a Nigella show in which she said that it’s better to deep fry than shallow fry as food absorbs more oil in shallow frying. Now, I was quite shocked to hear that as all these days I avoided deep frying and preferred shallow frying so that I could reduce the oil intake and since this statement came from a celebrity cook like her I could not remove it out of my mind. I really need to do more research on that but would love to hear your opinion too. I am sure many of the bloggers can throw some light on this topic.

dear jagruti, even we do not use garlic in fasting that's why I suggested only potatoes.dear Angie, the sago surely gives a crunchy crust and the cornstarch helps reduce the absorption of oil.Satya, I am glad u found it unique.Sangeetha, welcome back, will visit ur space now.Thanks Aruna and Sailaja

HIVery yummy. Sago coat has given new taste I think. Thanks for sharing.Yes Pari,shallow fry takes more oil than deep fry in very hot oil.My experience proves it. If you really want to shallow fry, do not add oil. Just dry roast if possible or use very very less oil.

Pari an amazing recipe for fasting days. Looks so crunchy and yummy. Pari I would love to send my today's post for your on going event but couldn't use the logo because of right click disability. Is it ok with you?
